Over many years I have researched the history of Cumberland Valley, and I have often talked about the Scots, the Scots-Irish, and the settlement of this part of the New World by these willing and not-so-willing exiles. The subjects are themselves enough to inspire writing, but there is great satisfaction in the fact that the Scots have lived up to the subjects on their own writ. Scotland and the Scots are appealing in so many ways - the beauty of the land- and seascapes, the food and drink, the extraordinarily resourceful and creative people, the dramatic history from antiquity to the present, the great literature and history and philosophy and religion. I'm still immersed in it even though I am not there." - Irvine Welsh (1958 - ), Scots novelist, short story writer, playwright, author of Trainspotting among many other works).Īll my life I have been interested in the history of Scotland and the profound consequences of the Scottish diaspora throughout the world.
